ABSTRACT:
An image processing device extracts graphic areas, for example, firstly from image data received, and then extracts other remaining areas, i.e., photographic and character areas. The areas that are extracted firstly can be photographic or character areas. This prevents the areas to be extracted firstly from being extracted accompanying with other areas under the influence of isolation processes to be executed on other areas. The image processing device also can establish the order of extraction of each area depending on the contents of the image data based on the user's operation.
